MyTender.io Interview is Live!
Two years ago, Samuel Aaron and Jamie Horsnell were Southampton University students with a simple idea: reduce the time organisations spend writing tenders by using AI. Instead of waiting until after graduation, they built the business while studying. Samuel committed to ten-hour days, seven days a week, balancing product development with final-year deadlines. That decision changed their trajectory. Samuel graduated with first-class honours and secured the largest undergraduate investment in the universityās history. Together, the co-founders built MyTender.io, now a Ā£250,000-funded AI start-up with a 15-person team delivering the output of thirty through the strategic use of AI. This interview explores how Samuel uses AI across accounting, research, data analysis, design and operations. He explains the real AI opportunity for new founders, the advantages early-stage companies gain when they build with AI from day one, and how automation reshapes productivity for lean teams.
